Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Weeping Song

Go son, go down to the water

And see the women weeping there

Then go up into the mountains

The men, they are weeping too

Father, why are all the women weeping?

They are weeping for their men

Then why are all the men there weeping?

They are weeping back at them

This is a weeping song

A song in which to weep

While all the men and women sleep

This is a weeping song

But I won’t be weeping long

Father, why are all the children weeping?

They are merely crying son

O, are they merely crying, father?

Yes, true weeping is yet to come

This is a weeping song

A song in which to weep

While all the little children sleep

This is a weeping song

But I won’t be weeping long

O father, tell me, are you weeping?

Your face seems wet to touch

O then I’m so sorry, father

I never thought I hurt you so much

This is a weeping song

A song in which to weep

While we rock ourselves to sleep

This is a weeping song

But I won’t be weeping long

No, I won’t be weeping long

No, I won’t be weeping long

No, I won’t be weeping long

Ramones - California Sun

Well I'm going out west where I belong

Where the days are short and the nights are long

And I'll walk a little walk

I'll twist a little twist

I'll shimmy a little shimmy

I'll fly a little fly

Yea we're out there having fun in the warm California sun

Well, I'm going out west out on the coast

Where the California girls are really the most

Where they walk and I'll walk

They fish and I'll fish

They sin and I'll sin

They fly and I'll fly

Where they're out there having fun in the warm California sun

Well, the girls are frisky in old 'Frisco

A pretty little chick wherever you go

And they walk and I'll walk

They fish and I'll fish

They sin and I'll sin

They fly and I'll fly

Where they're out there having fun in the warm California sun

We're out there having fun, yeah, in the warm California sun

Pearl Jam - Down

Down. Fall by the wayside... no getting out...

Down. Cry me a river... dried up and dammed.

The names can be changed... but the place is still the same.

I am loaded. Told that all's for naught. Holds me down.

Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.

Oh rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.

One day... the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away.

And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.

Won't let the light escape from me.

Won't let the darkness swallow me.

(So long)

Blur - Come Together

I don't understand

You're walking all over me

All over me to you

Well you must be mad

And you know you are

You should have known

I'd do anything for you

So why, why

Can't we come together? Why

Why, why

Can't we come together? Why

Inside my head

There's nothing left

It's all been taken out by you

And do I care?

Well you know I do

You should have known

I'd do anything for you

So why, why

Can't we come together? Why

Why, why

Can't we come together? Why

Now it's all been said

And you know it all

Then you should have known

I'd do anything for you

For you

For you

For you

For you

So why, why

Can't we come together? Why

Why, why

Can't we come together? Why

The Temper Trap - Everybody Leaves In The End

Do you remember when you were young

Chasing clouds down the rivers

Catching birds in the sun

You have surrendered life's better hours

In the deep lies your freedom

In the stars is your home

As we gather to see you go

Flowers scatter to let you know

Sons of the mountains cry in the vials

Warm and tender in her arms

So you'll stay though you're gone

As we gather to say goodbye

Until we see your face again

But seasons come you're going soon

Everybody leaves in the end

Do you remember, do you remember

No one way, no one can ever walk like you again

All the names left behind

Are standing mirrors of your eyes

No one will, not one name

Shall replace the wars that came

Held you tight, we held you tight

Everybody leaves in the end

Do you remember?

Placebo - Holocaust

Your eyes are almost dead
Can't get out of bed
And you can't sleep

You're sitting down to dress
And you're a mess
You look in the mirror

You look in your eyes
Then you realize

Everybody goes
Leaving those
Who fall behind

Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care

They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your airs

Your mother's dead
She said, "Don't be afraid"
Your mother's dead
You're on your own
She's in her bed

They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your errors

Everybody goes
Leaving those
Who fall behind

Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care

You're a wasted face
You're a sad-eyed lie
You're a holocaust

Nirvana - Downer

Portray sincerity

Act out of loyalty

Defend your free country

Wish away the pain

Hand out lobotomies

And save little families

Surrealistic fantasy

Bland, boring, plain!

Holy now is restitution

Living out your date with fusion

Is our whole fleece shun in bastard?

Don't feel guilty master writing

Somebody says that they're not much like I am, I know I can

Make enough up the words

As you go along, I sing a song

Sickening pessimist hypocrite master

Conservative Communist apocalyptic bastard

Thank you dear God for putting me on this Earth

I feel very privileged in debt for my thirst!

Holy now is restitution

Living out your date with fusion

Is our whole fleece shun in bastard?

Don't feel guilty master writing

Somebody says that they're not much like I am, I know I can

Make enough up the words

Sonic Youth - Snare, Girl

I'm here for you, can't you see what I'm doing?

I bring you news from the kingdom

Of disciples in ruin

Behold a child has just been born

Into a life of secrets sworn

Hold out your hands

And take these palms I've been given

They are wild with beauty faded

And they can guide this child to heaven

So rest assured and understand

How harvest eyes renew your land

I'm here looking for you dear

If I could see clear

Through all the sun stained stations

It's all up in the air, girl

It's like a snare, girl

In all its manifestations

I'm here for you, can't you see what I'm saying?

I have palms from the ruins

Where disciples are straying

I'm coming after you with mercy given

Your secret's out, now you're forgiven

I'm here looking for you dear

Can't you see clear

All these sun stained stations

It's you under the stairs, girl

With a snare, girl

Sounding salutations

On the corner sent by me

Shadows the ways

Straight away you ran from me

I heard you calling

Yes, I heard you calling

I hear silence in my heart

From a distance

Turn your back and runfrom me

Heard you calling

Take the first chance

When I am no longer free

Heard you calling

Heard you calling

Yes, I heard you calling

In the future

When you want me in your heart

I won't be there

If you call out in the dark

Heard you calling

Oh yes I heard you, heard you, heard you, heard you calling

From these feelings I can't hide

Echo & The Bunnymen - Everybody Knows

Everybody knows, how your garden grows

Everybody knows, how your garden grows

Everyone can see, I'm blind as I can be

The woods look just like trees

Look like trees to me

And I don't even get it

I don't know what you're trying to say

You're never gonna let me forget it

It's always gonna get in the way

It's moving much too fast

You know it ain't gonna last

I think we're heading for a crash

Heading for a crash

It's coming to a natural end

I'm going round my last bend

There's something you just can't mend

Things you just can't mend

I can't even remember

I don't know what the day is today

You're putting the no in November

And taking all the be's out of May

Everybody knows, how your garden grows

Everybody knows, how your garden grows

Everyone can see, I'm blind as I can be

The woods look just like trees

Look like trees to me

And I don't even get it

I don't know what you're trying to say

You're never gonna let me forget it

It's always gonna get in the way

Garbage - Push It

I was angry when I met you

Don't worry, baby

(Don't worry, baby)

No need to fight

Don't worry, baby

This is the noise that keeps me awake

My head explodes, and my body aches

Push it, make the beats go harder

I'm sorry that I hurt you

Please don't ask me why

I want to see you happy

I want to see you shine

Ramones - My Back Pages

Crimson flames tied through my ears

Rollin' high and mighty traps

Pounced with fire on flaming roads

Using ideas as my maps

"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I

Proud 'neath heated brow.

Ah, but I was so much older then,

I'm younger than that now.

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth

"Rip down all hate," I screamed

Lies that life is black and white

Spoke from my skull. I dreamed

Romantic facts of musketeers

Foundationed deep, somehow.

Ah, but I was so much older then,

I'm younger than that now.

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand

At the mongrel dogs who teach

Fearing not that I'd become my enemy

In the instant that I preach

My pathway led by confusion boats

Mutiny from stern to bow.

Ah, but I was so much older then,

I'm younger than that now.

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats

Too noble to neglect

Deceived me into thinking

I had something to protect

Good and bad, I define these terms

Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.

Ah, but I was so much older then,

I'm younger than that now.

(originally recorded by Bob Dylan)

Siouxsie And The Banshees - Kiss Them For Me

It glittered and it gleamed

For the arriving beauty queen

A ring and a car

Now you're the prettiest by far

No party she'd not attend

No invitation she wouldn't send

Transfixed by the inner sound

Of your promise to be found, oh

Nothing or no one

Will ever make me let you down

Kiss them for me, I may be delayed

Kiss them for me, if I am delayed

It's divoon, oh, it's serene

In the fountain's pink champagne

Someone carving their devotion

In the heart-shaped pool of fame, oh

Nothing or no one

Will ever make me let you down

Kiss them for me, I may be delayed

Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

On the road to New Orleans

A spray of stars hit the screen

As the tenth impact shimmered

The forbidden candles beamed, oh

Kiss them for me, I may be delayed

Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed

Kiss them for me, kiss them for me

Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed

Kiss them for me, kiss them for me

Kiss them for me, I may be delayed

Sonic Youth - Silver Rocket

Snake in it, jack into the wall

TV amp on fire blowin' in the hall

Gun yr sled, close yr peeping toms

Turbo organizer, crankin' on the knob

You got it

Yeh ride yr silver rocket

Can't stop it

Burnin' hole in yr pocket

Hit the power psycho helmet's on you got to

Splice yr halo and take it to a moon

Nymphoid clamor fuelling up the hammer you got to

Fake out the robot and pulse up the zoom

You got it

Yeh ride yr silver rocket

Can't stop it

Burnin' holes in yr pocket

I can't forget the flashing

Can't forget the smashing

The sending and the bending

The atmosphere re-entry

You got a hand in time

Got another in yr mind

Got yr heart injected

And you got yr soul aligned

You got it

Yeh ride yr silver rocket

I can't stop it

Burnin' hole in yr pocket

Interpol - Anywhere

We try to invade

Put some of us in each

At least try hold the other

In the right light

This sky's gonna break

Some of us die heroes

At least they'll never suffer

At least they'll always

See the ocean

I could go anywhere

I could go anywhere

So free in my place in the sun

I could go anywhere

I could go anywhere

You know all about me

That's what's so frightening

You know all about me

Seems my moon is traveling

We try to engage

Softened up by peace

At least I had my taste

Of the nightlife

Be kind to the babes

Cuz someday you might need them

At least they'll never suffer

At least they'll always

See the ocean

I could go anywhere

I could go anywhere

So free my nature to run

I could go anywhere

You know all about me

That's what's so frightening

You know all about me

Seems my moon is traveling

You know all about me

I won't be tied with heartstrings

I search high and low

Seems my moon is traveling

Always

See the ocean

I could go anywhere

Besides my only care's me

And my face in the sun

I could go anywhere

The Cure - Bare

If you’ve got something left to say

You’d better say it now

Anything but “stay”

Just say it now

We know we’ve reached the end

We just don’t know how

“Well at least we’ll still be friends”

Yeah one last useless vow…

“There are different ways to live”

Yeah I know that stuff

“Other ways to give”

Yeah all that stuff

But holding onto used to be

Is not enough

Memory’s not life

And it’s not love

We should let it all go

It never stays the same

So why does it hurt me like this

When you say that I’ve changed?

When you say that I’ve aged?

Say I’m afraid…

And all the tears you cry

They’re not tears for me

Regrets about your life

They’re not regrets for me

It never turns out how you want

Why can’t you see?

t all just slips away

It always slips away

Eventually…

So if you’ve got nothing left to say

Just say goodbye

Turn your face away

And say goodbye

You know we’ve reached the end

You just don’t know why

And you know we can’t pretend

After all this time

So just let it all go

Nothing ever stays the same

So why does it hurt me like this

To say that I’ve changed?

To say that I’ve aged?

Say i’m afraid…

But there are long long nights when I lay awake

And I think of what I’ve done

Of how I’ve thrown my sweetest dreams away

And what I’ve really become

And however hard I try

I will always feel regret

However hard I try

I will never forget

I will never forget

The Smiths - Back To The Old House

I would rather not go

Back to the old house

I would rather not go

Back to the old house

There's too many bad memories

Too many memories there

When you cycled by

Here began all my dreams

The saddest thing I've ever seen

And you never knew

How much I really liked you

Because I never even told you

Oh, and I meant to

Are you still there or have you moved away?

Or have you moved away?

I would love to go

Back to the old house

But I never will

I never will

I never will

PJ Harvey - White Chalk

White chalk hills are all I’ve known

White chalk hills will rot my bones

White chalk sticking to my shoes

White chalk playing as a child with you

White chalk south against time

White chalk cutting down the sea at Lyme

I walk the valleys by the Cerne

on a path cut fifteen hundred years ago

and I know these chalk hills will rot my bones

Dorset’s cliffs meet at the sea

where I walked, our unborn child in me

White chalk, gorse-scattered land

scratch my palms – there’s blood on my hands

Good time

Yeah, back at the roadhouse they got some bungalows
Yeah, back at the roadhouse they got some bungalows
That's for the people
Who like to go down slow

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, all night long

Do it, Robby, do it

You gotta roll, roll, roll
You gotta thrill my soul, all right
Roll, roll, roll, roll
Thrill my soul
Ya gotta beep a gonk a chucha
Honk konk konk
Ya gotta, each you puna
Each ya, bop a lula
Each ya'll, bump a kechonk
Ease some konk
Ya, ride

Ashen lady, ashen lady
Give up your vows, give up your vows
Save our city, save our city
Right now

Well, I woke up this morning, I got myself a beer
Well, I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer
The future's uncertain and the end is always near

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, all night long

The Mission - Grapes Of Wrath

The sweat upon his brow and the dirt worked into his hands

The dignity of labour upon a man's own land

The soil of his fathers passes on down through blood to hand

A man's right of birth to reap the harvest from his land

The breaking of his back to keep his dream alive

To work the change of season his instinct to survive

The planting of his seed and to see his harvest grow

Gives a pride to a man to reap the harvest that he sows

T he land of the free, home of the brave

The heartland of pioneers, the heritage of flesh and blood

And along come the winds that blow through the land

With a price to pay for the working man

Money talks and changes hands

And money reaps the harvest money demands

The grapes of wrath

They can take away his freedom they can beat him into the dust

They can burn his home, run him from his land, and leave him out to gather rust

But they can't take away his faith and his honesty and pride

And the knowledge that he holds inside

One day they'll reap the harvest

The grapes of wrath

There's hope in a man that nothing can destroy

A man will endure anything for the dream that he holds dear

And there's pride in a man who knows the truth

His faith in the earth he toils for

His honesty for the air he breathes

The truth of the harvest they will reap

The grapes of wrath

The Doors - Newborn Awakening

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding.

Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile egg-shell mind

Blood in the streets

In the town of New Haven.

Blood stains the roofs

And the palm trees of Venice.

Blood in my love

In the terrible summer.

Bloody red sun of

Phantastic L.A.

Blood screams her brain

As they chop off her fingers.

Blood will be born

In the birth of a nation.

Blood is the rose of

Mysterious union.

Blood on the rise,

It's following me.

Indian, Indian

What did you die for?

Indian says nothing at all.

Gently they stir.

Gently rise.

The dead are new-born awakening.

With ravaged limbs

And wet souls.

Gently they sigh

In rapt funeral amazement.

Who called these dead to dance?

Was it the young woman

Learning to play the 'Ghost Song'

In her baby grand

Was it the wilderness children?

Was it the Ghost-God himself,

Stuttering, cheering,

Chatting blindly?

I called you up to

Annoint the earth.

I called you to announce

Sadness falling like

Burned skin.

I called you to wish you well

To glory in self like a new monster

And now I call on you to pray.

A Perfect Circle - People Are People

We're different colors, and different creeds

And different people, have different needs

It's obvious you hate me, though I've done nothing wrong

I've never even met you, what could I have done?

People are people so why should it be?

You and I shouldn't get along

People are people so why should it be?

You should hate me

People are people so why should it be?

You and I shouldn't get along

People are people so why should it be?

You should hate me

You're punching and kicking, and you're shouting at me

I'm relying on your common decency

So far it hasn't surfaced, but I'm sure it exists

It just takes a while to travel, from your head to your fist

I can't understand

What makes a man

Hate another man?

Help me understand

People are people so why should it be?

You and I shouldn't get along

People are people so why should it be?

You should hate me

People are people so why should it be?

You and I shouldn't get along

People are people so why should it be?

You should hate me

I can't understand

What makes a man

Hate another man?

Help me understand

I can't understand

What makes a man

Hate another man?

Help me understand

I can't understand

What makes a man

Hate another man?

Help me understand

Megadeth - Reckoning Day

I like the way that I make you itch

And all the reasons I give you to bitch

And how I make you want to scream in pain

And feel your life is just a losing game

I like the way that you let me in

The way you look when the walls cave in

I like the way that your stomach knots

And how you cry for it all to stop

I like the way that you fool yourself

And make believe there's nobody else

I like the way that you stand in line

And beg salvation from the empty skies

Don't want no revenge

Ain't no payback time

It ain't called getting even

Here comes the reckoning day

I like the things that you try to fake

And your face when I see you break

And that you say you will pray for me

You realize you are prey for me

I like the way you stay on attack

No matter what, I keep coming back

And how you try to hold me down

But you end up driven to the ground

Don't want no revenge

Ain't no payback time

It ain't called getting even

Here comes the reckoning

Don't want no revenge, don't want no revenge

Ain't no payback time, ain't no payback time

It ain't called getting even, it ain't called getting even

Here comes the reckoning, here comes the reckoning day

Here it comes, it's coming to get you

Here it comes, it's coming to get you

Beck - Dead Melodies

Where will you go when this day is over?

A gambler's purse lays on the road straight to your door

The snakes have gone crazy tonight

Winding their way out of sight

A laugh, a joke, a sentiment wasted

Seasons of strangers that come and go

Doldrums are pounding, cheapskates are clowning this town

Who could disown themselves now?

Engineer, slow down this old train

Cinders and chaff laugh at the moon

Night birds will cackle, rotting like apples on trees

Sending their dead melodies to me

Iron Maiden - Caught Somewhere In Time

If you had the time to lose

An open mind and time to choose

Would you care to take a look

Or can you read me like a book

Time is always on my side

Time is always on my side

Can I tempt you come with me

Be Devil may care fulfill your dream

If I said I'd take you there

Would you go would you be scared

Time is always on my side

Time is always on my side

Don't be afraid you're safe with me

Safe as any soul can be... honestly

Just let yourself go

Caught somewhere in time

Caught somewhere in time

Caught somewhere in time... oh oh

Caught somewhere in time

Caught somewhere in time

Caught somewhere in time... oh oh

Like a wolf in sheep's clothing

You try to hide your deepest sins

Of all the things that you've done wrong

And I know where you belong

Time is always on my side

Time is always on my side

Make you an offer you can't refuse

You've only got your soul to lose...

Eternally... let yourself go!

Caught somewhere in time

Caught somewhere in time

Caught somewhere in time... oh oh

Caught somewhere in time

Caught somewhere in time

Caught now in two minds!

Smashing Pumpkins - Mayonaise

Fool enough to almost be it

Cool enough to not quite see it

Doomed

Pick your pockets full of sorrow

And run away with me tomorrow

June

We'll try and ease the pain

But somehow we'll feel the same

Well, no one knows

Where our secrets go

I send a heart to all my dearies

When your life is so, so dreary

Dream

I'm rumored to the straight and narrow

While the harlots of my perils

Scream

And I fail

But when I can, I will

Try to understand

That when I can, I will

Mother weep the years I'm missing

All our time can't be given

Back

Shut my mouth and strike the demons

That cursed you and your reasons

Out of hand and out of season

Out of love and out of feeling

So bad

When I can, I will

Words defy the plan

When I can, I will

Fool enough to almost be it

And cool enough to not quite see it

And old enough to always feel this

Always old, I'll always feel this

No more promise no more sorrow

No longer will I follow

Can anybody hear me

I just want to be me

When I can, I will

Try to understand

That when I can, I will

R.E.M. - Star 69

You don't have to take the bar exam to see

What you've done is ignoramus 103

What've I got to hang my hat on

You don't have a pot to pee in

All this just to be your friend

I was there until the end.

Extortion and arson, petty larceny.

I know you called-I know you called-I know you called

I know you called-I know you called-I know you hung up my line

Star 69

I know all about the warehouse fire

I know squirrelys didn't chew the wires

3 people have my number

The other 2 were with me

I don't like to tell-tell but i'm not your patsy.

This time you have gone too far with me.

I know you called-I know you called-I know you called

I know you called-I know you called-I know you hung up my line

Star 69

Why'd you put your quarter down on me?

This reads like some dork inside edition hard copy.

I can't be your character witness

I can't be your alibi

Doorbell rings it's the FBI

We learned Spy vs. Spy

You my friend are guilty as can be.

I know you called-I know you called-I know you called

I know you called-I know you called-I know you hung up my line

I know you called-I know you called-I know you called

I know you called-I know you called-I can't be your alibi
